Anyway, I’m in Love With You #01 — Girl Stares Blankly Forward

 

Thrilling stuff.

Impressions:

Okay, fine. This is clearly not the bottom of the barrel for the day, not when multiple cheat power trash farms exist, but it’s not making a good case for itself either. The premise alone is such goofy dumb soap opera nonsense. What if there was a teenage girl who had every popular hot boy in class waiting on her hand and foot, and they all loved her. What a dramatic life that would be. Brought to you by the WB circa 2010, probably with vampires or a DC tie-in, either of which I would consider the more important parts than a parade of pretty boys all lusting after the stammering wallflower.

As the sixth show of the day, I’m out of anything creative left to write. It is exactly what it looks like. Just a dumb harem thing, only with a girl lead and dudes in the harem instead of the opposite. It’s just as bad if you reversed the genders, and yeah, these kinds of shows have generally fallen out of style since the Love Hina heydays, but that just means that the crappy ones can’t fly under the radar and look slightly better when there’s even worse ones out there. The characters are boring. It’s all melodrama all the time, but all based on the protagonist being a wishy-washy nonentity who doesn’t even want to exert any control over anything going on, let alone try. And it’s not even like there’s anything differentiating the members of the harem either. They say one is the athletic one, one is the young one, etc, but they’re all the same because none of them actually do a damn thing. Even stuff like Ladies x Butlers (hey, remember that) put a lot more effort into having a wide array of loud and obnoxious options to choose from, not to mention way more fanservice. Just having a dude randomly open his shirt or stand under a shower is low effort. Let’s at least see some glistening pecs.
